Yamada Holdings, Japan's largest home electronics retailer, will integrate with No. 5 player Edion. The move aims to expand scale while strengthening competitiveness as a lifestyle platform spanning electronics, furniture, and remodeling businesses.
According to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun on Wednesday, Yamada Holdings and Edion are pursuing a business integration in which they will establish a holding company and place both companies under it.
Yamada Holdings posted consolidated revenue of 1.6918 trillion yen (approximately 16.1825 trillion won) in fiscal 2025 (April 2025 to March 2026), ranking first in the home electronics retail industry. Edion ranked fifth with 793.7 billion yen (approximately 7.5919 trillion won). Combined, the two companies' revenue reaches 2.5 trillion yen (approximately 23.9132 trillion won), more than double that of second-ranked Bic Camera. Even among general retail companies, this places them fourth, following revenue leader Aeon, Seven & i Holdings, and Fast Retailing.
Yamada Holdings operates 8,774 stores in Japan, including furniture stores and franchises, and is pursuing a comprehensive lifestyle platform strategy covering not only electronics but also housing, remodeling, and furniture businesses. Edion holds 1,180 stores, including franchises.
